Emergency Management

The Victorian Emergency Management Act 1986, requires that each municipal council prepares and maintains a Municipal Emergency Management Plan (MEMP). The Northern Grampians Shire MEMP includes strategies to prevent, prepare, respond and recover from emergencies, which may occur within the Northern Grampians Shire and impact on residents and infrastructure.

The plan responds to the economic and social effects of emergencies, including loss of life, destruction of property and dislocation of individuals and communities.
